Segue Software, Costco and Keynote Systems to Discuss Web Site Reliability for the Upcoming Holiday Season
Webinar Will Provide Insights for Ensuring Uptime of Retail Web Sites During the Holiday Rush
LEXINGTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 5, 2004-- Segue Software, Inc. (NASDAQ-SCM: SEGU), the leader in software quality optimization, today announced its participation and co-sponsorship in a Webinar entitled, "Web Site Reliability: Delivering Winning Performance this Holiday Season." The Webinar will be held on Thursday, August 5, at 1:00 pm EDT. In addition to Segue, other participants in the Webinar include executives from Keynote Systems and Costco.
As the holiday season fast approaches, retail organizations need to ensure that their Web sites can handle the increase in traffic. If a site is down, even for a short period of time, the revenue losses could be severe. This Webinar will help attendees to: validate whether their e-commerce applications will handle the traffic expected this holiday season; ensure capacity expenditures are both necessary and strategic; and enhance brand image by making reliable retail performance a holiday tradition.
Segue Software and Keynote Systems will open the Webinar with a discussion about the current testing challenges facing online retailers. Then participants will hear a real-world example of scalability success from Don Allen of Costco. A Q&A session will also be provided--as well as tips on how to decide between available testing options.

"The holiday season can make or break a retail organization. If a site is down for even a short period of time, an online retailer loses valuable sales and customers to the competition," said Andre Pino, Chief Marketing Officer, Segue Software. "This Webinar will offer attendees insights on how to avoid downtime by performing appropriate load testing and tuning activities in advance of the holidays. The best practices presented will help retailers to channel testing efforts appropriately, with the end result that they will know whether their online applications are prepared for the expected load. As some retailers have painfully discovered in past years, there is no 'second chance' to recover if they are unable to adequately handle seasonal volumes."
